Butterflies

I saw several beautiful butterflies in Upstate New York this past weekend, where the green of summer is transforming quickly into the red, orange, and yellow of fall. This inspired me to post several random photos I’ve taken of butterflies from my travels to NY, Costa Rica, and Argentina. Enjoy!

That monarch butterfly! The color pattern –black, white, two tones of orange– now I want to get rid of my leopard print eyeglasses and wear butterfly print ones.
